Background: The phase 3 RESORCE trial showed that regorafenib improved overall survival compared to placebo in uHCC patients (pts) who progressed on sorafenib. The characteristics of real-world pts are more diverse than those included in clinical trials. The global observational REFINE study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of regorafenib in pts with uHCC in a real-world setting. Methods: REFINE is an ongoing observational study of pts with uHCC who were treated with regorafenib in routine practice. The primary end point includes to assess treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; NCI-CTCAE v4.03). Secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, and tumor response. Tumor response and progression are assessed per investigator according to local standard. A planned interim analysis of 1008 pts in the global cohort has been reported (Lim, ILCA 2021). We describe interim results in pts from Taiwan. Results: A total of 137 pts were enrolled and 136 were valid for safety analysis (80% male). At study entry, median age was 65.5 years (Q1-Q3, 60-72); 51.5% pts had an ECOG PS 0 and 24.3% and 12.5% had an ECOG PS of 1 and, respectively (missing 11.8%); proportion of pts classified as Child–Pugh A/B/C were 46.3%/10.3%/0.7% (missing/not evaluable: 40.4%/2.2%). The initial daily regorafenib dose was 160 mg in 8% of pts and 120 mg/80 mg in 9%/78%; 5.1% started at 40 mg. 83.1% pts received regorafenib as a second line agent and 15.4% pts as third line or beyond. 132 pts had prior sorafenib treatment with last daily dose being 400mg in 53.8% of patients; 9 patients (6.6%) had received an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The most frequent TEAEs are shown (Table). Effectiveness results will be presented. Conclusions: The characteristics of real-world pts from Taiwan not only differ from those in the RESORCE trial but also from the global REFINE cohort, reflecting variation across countries. A higher proportion of patients from Taiwan initiated regorafenib at a lower dose. Clinical trial information: NCT03289273.
